You don’t have to write an opus like “Stairway to Heaven” to create a great song . . . you barely need a couple of minutes “Far Out” magazine has a list of the 10 best songs at two minutes or less.
Here are the ones they selected, along with the length of each, roughly:
1. “Please, Please, Please, Let Me Get What I Want”, The Smiths . . . 1:50
2. “Judy Is a Punk”, The Ramones . . . 1:32
3. “Mercedes Benz”, Janis Joplin . . . 1:48
4. “Mayday”, The Libertines . . . 1:06. (The source is British, FYI.)
5. “I Will”, The Beatles . . . 1:46
6. “Pin”, The Yeah Yeah Yeahs . . . 2:00
7. “Fell in Love with a Girl”, The White Stripes . . . 1:50
8. “Game of Pricks”, Guided By Voices . . . 1:33
9. “2021”, Vampire Weekend . . . 1:38
10. “White Riot”, The Clash . . . 1:56
(The times for each will vary slightly. We used Wikipedia and YouTube.)
